Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One day there were three surgeons who were arguing loudly over who was the best surgeon. "Oh yeah," the first one yells. "One day there was this guy who came in with all his fingers cut off, I sewed them back onto his hand, and he's playing piano for the queen of England!" "Oh, that's nothing," shouts the second one. "One day this guy came in with his arms and legs cut off, I sewed back onto his body, and now he's on the Olympic track and swimming teams!" "Oh, that isn't jack compared to what I'VE done," bellows the third one. "One day there was this guy who was riding a horse, on cocaine, got hit by a subway train, and all that was left was the guy's body and the horse's behind, I sewed them together, and now he's the President of The United States!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three old men are at the doctor for a memory test. The doctor says to the first old man, "What is three times three?" "274" was his reply. The doctor worriedly says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?" "Tuesday" replies the second man. The doctor sadly says to the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three"? "Nine" says the third man. "That's great!" exclaims the doctor. "How did you get that"? "Jeez, Doc, it's pretty simple," says the third man. "I just subtracted 274 from Tuesday."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon after our last child left home for college, my husband was resting next to me on the couch with his head in my lap. I carefully removed his glasses. "You know, honey," I said sweetly, "Without your glasses you look like the same handsome young man I married." "Honey," he replied with a grin, "Without my glasses, you still look pretty good, too!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A doctor tells his old patient: "Mr. Jones, the last check you gave me came back". The patient answers: "Then we are even, Doc. So did my arthritis"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An Irish guy goes into a bar in America and asks for three separate shots of Whiskey. He drinks one, waits a little bit, then drinks the second one, waits a little bit more, and then drinks the third one. This goes on for a few days, and finally the bartender tells him: "You know sir, I can put all three shots in one glass for you". The guy replies "No, I prefer it this way. You see, I'm very close to my two brothers. They are both still in Ireland, and this represents a drink for each of us. When I drink like this, I feel like we are drinking together again, all three of us".

This goes on for several months, and then one day the guy walks into the pub and asks for only two shots. The bartender is worried that maybe something happened to one of his brothers. "Is everythink OK"? he asks. "What do you mean", answers the guy. "Well, for months you have been asking for three shots. now you order two. Did something happen to one of your brothers?", the bartender asks. "No", replies the Irish guy, "No No they're fine. It's just that I gave up drinking".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A guy walks into a bar and shouts, "When I drink, everybody drinks!". Everybody is cheering him and applauding like crazy. Feeling great, he finishes his beer, asks for another one and shouts, "When I drink again, everybody drinks again!". Once again, everybody is cheering him, he is the hero of the bar. When he is done drinking, he pulls out his wallet and shouts, "When I pay, everybody pays!".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A guy goes into a bar. He orders a beer, and after a while he needs to go to the toilet. Because he is afriad someone will drink his beer, he puts a small note on it that says: "I spit in this beer, do not drink!". After a few minutes he returns, and there is another note on the beer, saying "So did I!".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two men arrive at the Pearly Gates at about the same time, both wanting to know if they will be admitted to heaven. St. Peter asks the first man his name, where he is from, and what he did in life.

The man answers that he is John Smith and that he was a taxi driver in New York City.

St. Peter looks through his book, then gives the man a luxurious silken robe and a golden staff, and bids him welcome into heaven for his eternal reward.

St. Peter then asks the second man the same questions. He replies that his name is Thomas O'Malley, and that he was a Catholic priest in Chicago. St. Peter looks in his book, then gives him a cotton robe and a wooden staff, and bids him to enter into heaven for his eternal reward.

Father O'Malley says, Wait a minute! Why did that taxi driver get a silken robe and golden staff while I, a Catholic Priest and a man of God, got a cotton robe and wooden staff?

St. Peter told him that the rewards in heaven are based on results, and while Father O'Malley preached, people slept, but while John Smith drove, people prayed! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning everyboomie.

Hey Copper, maybe Father O'Malley could give you tips on falling asleep.

I slept like a baby last night.

I woke up every hour wet and hungry.

No problem. I'll catch up on my sleep at work.

I just hope I don't run over anybody with the order picker.

Hey wait a minute, what day is this?

Oh yes, the day before tomorrow,....................and tomorrow is the day before the tomorrow I'm looking for.

My next day off.

Have a happy day everyone.

Good morning Joe, soot and Midgie! I hope you all enjoy your day. It appears it will be a stormy one again so I'll be working in the corner with no walk. If by chance that changes I will run the dogs and then work.

Sorry I've not been here in forever...my wee cake business has really taken off, I'm so grateful for that, but it doesn't leave me much time for anything else! I'll never forget you all here though, I do lurk most days. Love to you all, will try to get here more often!

Hubby and I will be going out to do errands when he gets back from town. After that I'm going to clean out my recipe box and do some organizing so I can find what I want easily. Hubby has been burning the candle at both ends for several weeks now, so the rest of the weekend will be spent doing as little as possible

Hi, everyone. I'm back from a long hiatus. Sorry I've been gone so long. It's been getting harder and harder to post in the mornings, even for a quick hello and goodbye, as I'm always in such a rush for work. I haven't even been turning my computer on, as it's too distracting. I'm going to try to improve on that, as I really miss coming here.

As for now, I'm going to try and catch up on some of what I've missed out on. Looks like there's a new list, so I'm going to have to check that out.

And now, I wish everyone here a fantastic Saturday, and hope to see you again tomorrow.

Hi, L4L. Work is fine, if a bit hectic. My manager apparently stopped by when I wasn't there and said everything looked really good, so I take that as a good sign. Hope you and hubby get a chance to relax after all the hectic activity!

Have a great day, Space Quest.

Hi, Nan. Well, knowing that person as I do, I think it's best just to avoid her. I tried being nice to her, but unfortunately, she's one of those people who feels it's her business to say negative things no matter what. There are two problems with this. One problem, the main problem, is that she no longer works in that department, so it's none of her business anyway (and my manager luckily also holds this opinion). And secondly, of course things are going to be a mess on the days I'm not there because entropy (in the form of customers ) will inevitably set in. And everything else she says is just blatantly wrong. So I've just been doing my job 110% as I always have been, and making sure to get the store manager to sign my documents every day, so I keep a record of everything I've been doing. How has everything been with you? Hope you find something fun to do today.
